We're not talking about a copyright issue. Still can't talk about copyright issues. We're talking about Anneke emboldening Grant to threaten, and saying she would go to court on his side. If you're trying to say that her motivation was concern about copyright issues, I see no record of that, just that she was defending FCF and Grant, and saying we shouldn't have said what we said about them. It's about her betrayal, the repercussions of, the lack of concern for the consequences of her words and deeds; the real life effect on the exer community, and her lack of concern for bearing the responsibility.

If you were sincere in that question, and genuinely puzzled, I guess I understand that you don't understand, and you must be miffed. But it makes perfect sense to someone like me, former member of this cult. Sincerely, even though you might never believe me, I would love to talk about the copyright thing with you, but just can't.

Perhaps the way you can relate to it best is to understand it as being about our right to free speech, which was being threatened and bullied away.

Nobody was trying to remove Anneke's right to answer to anything - I'd be open to hearing from her. When I tried to discuss it she gave wouldn't have any of it. Nobody said she wasn't allowed to say what she said or choose her friends. She's free to betray and intimidate anytime. We're just saying, there were consequences for her actions, but she doesn't seem too concerned at all.
